If Zenon’s life had a big or small impact on each race, blood and steel had a big or small impact on civilization itself.

Because of this, compared to Zenon’s life, there are relatively different likes and dislikes. Zenon’s life story was a writing that made each race feel the ‘mulberry taste’.

But that doesn’t mean it’s less popular. Although it was not possible to inject mulberry into each tribe, it was widely spread as a book showing the future.

Didn’t tanks and factories using magical engines actually appear? Furthermore, the value of oil skyrocketed.

Above all else, blood and steel is a fantasy. A fantasy that people in this world cannot dare to imagine.

In addition, the fact that it is not a complete fantasy, but a feasible fantasy, came to me as a great attraction.

[If you want to see the future, read Blood and Steel.]

As a famous critic said, blood and steel literally shows the future.

The development of political ideology and scientific civilization in the future. Furthermore, the terrible war that resulted from it.

This world doesn’t have wars as often as Earth, so it might sound like a distant country story, but Blood and Steel has so many relatable parts.

An example is Albenheim. A country that lost a human alliance in a tribal war and left a huge scratch on its pride.

It is evaluated that if a person like Hitler had fallen here, Albenheim would soon have become like Nazi Germany.

Not only Albenheim, but also Helium was no different. People say helium would have been more dangerous.

Compared to other races, they have little to do with it, but they are discriminated against, and on the contrary, they are strong enough to be compared to elves.

I was able to develop patience because I was considering moderation as a virtue, but it is a very good environment for fascism to spread.

Blood and Steel is a book that shows the future, but also a warning. So that even if someone like Hitler appears in the future, I will not get caught up in madness.

In this sense, Helium is an excellent customer of Blood and Steel. Like Zeno’s biography, it has established itself as an essential reading and textbook.

Of course, compared to Zenon’s life, it’s quite spicy, so people like it and don’t like it. Besides, most of the main characters are men.

Is this why you are not popular with women? It was a bit like that when World War II started in earnest.

[War affects everyone, regardless of gender or age. The Soviet-Russian war clearly shows the situation in which the country was driven to the brink.]

Until the outbreak of the Toxin War.

At the beginning of the war with Germany, the Soviet Union was helplessly pushed back by the Great Purge and Stalin’s foolishness.

As a result, the siege of Leningrad, where ‘Agwi Island’ will unfold, occurred, and furthermore, it came to the brink of being pushed to Moscow, the capital.

All men who can fight risk their lives on the front line, and the rest, including women, produce goods in munitions factories.

A wartime system in which everyone, regardless of gender or age, focuses only on war. It was not vivid, but extremely realistic, so I was immersed in a different meaning.

There was little to no hopeful content. If the soldiers disappeared after the wires were broken, what remained for the civilians would be a terrible war crime.

So people were expecting it. May later Nazi Germany be dusted by the Soviet Union or other countries on a rainy day.

Nazi Germany is certainly a cool villain, but even its charm couldn’t cover up its evil. That’s why it had the effect of increasing the attractiveness even more.

Anyway, many people were hoping for the defeat of Nazi Germany, but not everyone.

“I hope Moscow falls soon.”

Here is a demonic boy who appears to be in his early teens. A boy with normal horns in addition to the black hair unique to the demons.

Currently, the boy was lying on the bed in his room, rubbing his hands together. On his thigh was the new book of Blood and Steel, published this time.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Looking at this alone, it looked like an ordinary reader of blood and steel, but the boy’s room was not ordinary at all.

It was because the flag of Nazi Germany, Hakenkreuz, was engraved on the cloth.

Everyone would know where the boy was immersed, even if he didn’t think about it.

smart-

“Son? Are you having dinner now?”

As I was about to open the book, a woman’s voice came from outside. Knock is a bonus.

The boy gave a rough answer to a rather cautious question.

“I’ll just look at this and eat it!”

“Yes. Do I have to eat it?”

“yes~”

The woman walked away from the door after hearing the boy’s answer. Exactly, I was trying to get away.

“Just in case, reading books is good. But…”

“Ah. I’ll take care of that!”

Unlike before, the boy answered rather nervously. The woman outside let out a weak sigh at the boy’s answer.

“······Okay. Be sure to eat instead.”

The boy’s mother quietly disappears leaving only those words behind. The boy opened the book with a look of anticipation.

However, when the story unfolded differently than expected, the boy’s face soon turned into disappointment.

Perhaps because of the impact of the Pearl Harbor attack, the United States, Japan, and Britain emerged as the main countries.

‘Still, it’s fun, so that’s okay. Even the details like this will be important.’

The boy was disappointed for a moment, but began to read Blood and Steel with joy.

‘Hitler and Nazi Germany will definitely conquer the world.’

Currently, Hitler and Nazi Germany are undeniably ‘villains’, so many people have turned their backs on them.

However, not a few people were still rooting for these two, and even they are rooting for them because they have outstanding charm as villains.

In other words, there are not many people who are deeply impressed by their actions and thoughts. But this is just an outside story.

‘Hellium had to have someone like Hitler.’

The boy fits this. The boy was also a demon, so he followed Isaac as his savior, but apart from that, he wanted Hitler.

Just as Hitler saved his beloved Germany from the mire of defeatism, the demon hero wanted to save Helium.

‘We demons use magic freely like the elves, and are also excellent at arms. But I don’t know why they pursue restraint.’

Cecily assigned the Jews, who were under strong pressure from Nazi Germany, to the Demons, but the boy, on the contrary, assigned Germany to Helium.

An innate ability comparable to that of an Elf. Unlike the elves, they are never arrogant, and even have a culture that they built on their own.

There is nothing lacking, but Helium has been isolated half of its own will so far. One of the trivial reasons of being a descendant of the devil.

He could not understand the culture of Helium with the mindset of a boy who had not yet matured mentally.

‘Mora-nim protects us too. It wouldn’t have mattered if we went to war in the name of showing that we demons are human.’

In such a situation, the world of blood and steel was revealed. In particular, the ideological part coincided with the boy’s thoughts to some extent.

One of Isaac’s concerns appeared in the boy. Not the development of civilization, but the assimilation of ideas.

Even more so, boys are the period of puberty that demons pay the most attention to, that is, the ‘little devil’ period. The age at which mentally and physically immature people will have all sorts of thoughts.

In the past, there would have been concerns about demonization, but now, thanks to Isaac, the problem has been alleviated to some extent.

However, the fact that they are emotionally unstable has not changed, so the demon parents have no choice but to deepen their worries.

‘My mom and dad said I shouldn’t have such thoughts, but… I’m not.’

The boy firmly believed that a Hitler-like existence was absolutely necessary in Helium. Isn’t that why the flag of Nazi Germany was hung in the room?

An atmosphere of hatred for being unable to discriminate against Jews? Without Isaac, all the demons would have been discriminated against.

A war crime committed by Nazi Germany? It’s just that Nazi Germany was radical, but that’s how war is originally.

Just as Isaac predicted that he would be the most susceptible to fascism, the boy was genuinely sympathetic to Hitler’s ideas.

Of course, his immature mind and lack of experience forced his way of thinking to one side.

Judgment suitable for unstable emotions, not looking at the negative side and interpreting even that as he likes.

‘There are many people who have the same thoughts as me.’

It wasn’t just the boy that was the problem. Currently, there are people who sympathize with fascism in Helium.

Cecily had done her best to drive out the hardline demons, but now her turn against fascism was slowly approaching.

Fortunately, there were no cases of crossing the line like the hardliner demons. Because now it was just a meeting.

‘Hitler’s first political party was similar to this. I’ll be able to gradually increase the size.’

However, if the group grows, there is a high possibility that it will become a nuisance to Helium in the future.

Didn’t Dwarven communism come to Machina anyway? Even in Animus, there were signs of democracy being introduced.

A fascism that everyone can understand, slightly less radical than the fascism in blood and steel.

It was to unite the demons as one, not to create enemies around them, as the hardline demons did.

‘To do that, we need a strong leader like Hitler. Wouldn’t Princess Cecily be such a leader?’

In fact, Cecily has strong support from Helium. First of all, the fact that he was Isaac’s lover ate a lot.

It was originally known as an open secret, but there is news that they openly crossed arms at the recent Zenon Festival.

If it was someone else, the news would have made headlines, but since it was Isaac and no one else, everyone agreed and moved on.

There’s nothing wrong with having a fiancée, and even she couldn’t stand Isaac’s night shift and dragged in another woman.

Of course, this is a range that the boy cannot understand. They just expect that Princess Cecily will become a strong leader.

‘The true nature of Isaac will be revealed when he returns to the bosom of nature.’

Isaac is human. A human with an extremely short lifespan compared to demons.

It is said that it is loved by God, but there is a high possibility that it cannot escape the laws set by nature.

So, after 100 years at the latest, Isaac will disappear from this world. From then on, all restrictions on the world will be lifted.

‘Let’s prepare for that time. I can be of great help to Helium.’

A boy who draws an adolescent-like future. The boy read the book, fully believing that Helium would make the country rich and powerful like Nazi Germany.

The Hakenkreuz flag hanging on the wall behind his back seemed to represent the boy’s mentality.

“yes?”

But how did this happen? The boy had doubts while watching the ‘Banje meeting’ in the ending part.

“The Final Solution to the Jews? What is this?”

It wasn’t long before the Nazi SS showed up and liked it, and the content of the meeting was unusual.

The boy is well aware of the discrimination and persecution against Jews.

They are just passing by, saying that it must be because the Jews did something wrong.

The Wannsee Conference, which appeared this time, also seemed to have a deep connection with Jews.

‘Didn’t you say that there were more Jews because of the war? Are you going to end it like banishment?’

Although the boy is a little devil and has many immature parts, at least the ‘moral mind’ was present.

You shouldn’t hit people for no reason. You shouldn’t take your life carelessly. not to commit a crime, etc.

The crimes that appeared in war are due to the specificity of war. That’s why even the boy admitted that Nazi Germany was too radical.

I never thought that crime was just and moral. This is not an ideological issue, it is a moral issue.

Of course, Hitler was also a man far from morality. Thanks to that, Nazi Germany was able to seize power.

In a situation where this sometimes causes confusion, the boy realized that ‘morality’ is not the last defense mechanism.

“······uh?”

The boy’s eyes widened when he learned the meaning of annihilation. After that, he double-checked that he had seen it wrong.

But nothing changed. The theme of the Wannsee Conference came down to just one thing.

The extermination of the Jews, that is, the elimination of the Jewish people themselves.

The word “extinction,” which could only be used for animals, is used even for humans without any guilt.

And beyond using it, they approved the project. A project for the extermination of all Jews.

‘Come to think of it, Operation T4…’

The boy’s mind is confused out of control. I didn’t know anything else, but I was able to properly judge that this was ‘wrong’.

At the same time, I felt the blood in my whole body go cold. It was an idea that I was sympathetic with until just a moment ago, but it seemed that I had seen the end.

It was the other races that first discriminated against the demons. Therefore, it is a fair price for demons to persecute other races.

From an individual point of view, it is a racist idea, but if it grows to a national level, it is no different from Nazi Germany.

‘This isn’t… It’s just…’

A demon wearing a human mask. Only the devil is the final solution, and he will take the option of annihilation.

It’s never something a person would think. I don’t know if it’s a god, but the same person exterminates other peoples.

Prior to morality, ‘humanity’ aroused an instinctive sense of rejection. Enough to give a huge shock even to a mentally immature boy.

“······”

The boy quietly closed the book. I looked up blankly at the ceiling for a while, probably because of the aftereffects.

Then the Nazi German flag hung proudly behind it caught my eye. The flag, which looked great just a moment ago, seems to be the symbol of the ‘devil’.

The boy wanted Helium to become a strong nation, never to become a devil.

therefore.

Whoops! Poo!

I tore it straight to shreds. Then, it was burned with magic so that not even a trace was left behind.

“Hey! What kind of energy is this… what are you doing?”

“Ah! Mom!”

“I can’t live! I can’t live! I was told not to use magic in the house! Then what if the house collapses!”

It’s a bonus that the boy’s mother, who felt the magic energy, bursts in and hits him on the back.

Thus, the boy who almost fell into fascism was able to escape safely.

[A group sympathetic to fascism in Helium voluntarily disbanded.]

[The content revealed at the Banze meeting is the very idea of the ‘devil’.]

[Will this content be put into practice? If you really practice it, even a devil worshiper will fold in.]

[The devil worshipers carried out the slave trade for sacrifice. But this is literally going to extinction…]

The world rocked.
